My Name

Alexander, Helper of Mankind.
It doesn't seem likely
I'm not always kind
In fact most times i am sarcastic
Sometimes I'm rude
Although I'd hate to admit it
I might be a prude

Uptight and often obtuse
You'd never know it
But it might be the truth

But sometimes on sunny days
When my worries get swept away
and the sunshine shines through
I see that what my name means
might actually be true

I care a lot about what people think
and make an extra effort to make it come true
I love to make the sad smile
and distract the sick from what is ailing them
If I didn't know any better
I would think I was made to help men
